Hey Sizz,
You ever feel like you’ve been shrinking just to keep the peace?
Like you’ve been playing small because the fear of disappointing others feels heavier than the risk of disappointing yourself?
For so many of us, that started long before adulthood — we learned to smile instead of speak up, to survive instead of shine, to serve from empty places and call it strength.
But Sizz, I need you to hear me:
Choosing yourself is not selfish — it’s sacred.
Because when you decide to stop living in fear and finally step into your next, you give permission for every woman connected to you to do the same.
That’s why this year’s HeartSpaces Wellness & Lifestyle Brunch is so special to me. 💕
It’s happening Saturday, October 25th at Neiman Marcus in Plano, TX, and it’s more than an event — it’s a divine appointment for audacious and aspiring women who are ready to redefine what’s next.
And the women joining me this year? They’re bringing fire, faith, and freedom.
